Evolution and Impact of Switchbacks Throughout the Heliosphere
Alfred Mallet, Chen Shi, Anna Tenerani +23
Magnetic switchbacks are large-amplitude fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field, and appear frequently in the near-Sun solar wind explored recently by Parker Solar Probe…
Properties of Magnetic Switchbacks in the Near-Sun Solar Wind
Samuel T. Badman, Naïs Fargette, Lorenzo Matteini +24
Magnetic switchbacks are fluctuations in the solar wind in which the interplanetary magnetic field sharply deflects away from its background direction so as to create folds in magn…
The Temperature Anisotropy and Helium Abundance Features of Alfvénic Slow Solar Wind Observed by Parker Solar Probe, Helios, and Wind Missions
Jia Huang, Davin E. Larson, Tamar Ervin +20
Slow solar wind is typically characterized as having low Alfvénicity, but the occasional occurrence of highly Alfvénic slow solar wind (HASSW) raises questions about its source r…
The evolution of CME sheath turbulence from L1 to Earth: Wind and MMS observations of the 2023-04-23 CME
Matthew R. Argall, Li-Jen Chen, Noé Lugaz +5
An interplanetary shock driven by a coronal mass ejection (CME) containing an interval of sub-Alfvénic flow impacted Earth on April 23, 2024. In this article, we analyze the turbu…
Acceleration of electrons and ions by an "almost" astrophysical shock in the heliosphere
Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Oleksiy Agapitov, Vladimir Krasnoselskikh +18
Collisionless shock waves, ubiquitous in the universe, are crucial for particle acceleration in various astrophysical systems. Currently, the heliosphere is the only natural enviro…
